1st fill today! Nervous

[luluharper1981 0]

Ok, So today I get my first fill! I am kinda nervous. I am worried that it will hurt. Also worried that I still will not have any restriction. I had surgery on 2/20/09, and have lost around 20lbs. So wish me luck!

I was banded on 2/12/09. I have had my first fill. The proceedure with my DR. is you lay down on the table. He will feel for your port with his fingers. Once he finds it, his nurse sprays some cold spray (pain killer) and he sticks the needle in. You really do not feel it. I too was nervous. I specifically asked them what they were planning to do to me in this strange room. They were very nice and explained the whole process to me. Just ask, tell them you are a fill virgin and they will help you through this too.

My first fill didn't hurt, in fact none of them have. HOWEVER...odds are very good that you will NOT have restriction yet. It took me to fill 4 to "feel the love". My surgeon is conservative but most people don't feel the first one much. You may feel it psychologically, but physiologically probably not much.
